SBG Systems launches SBG +Services

SBG +ServicesSBG Systems recently announced the launch of SBG +Services. This suite of services is aimed to streamline and enhance utilization efficiency for various SBG inertial sensor users. Primarily geared towards system integrators, SBG +Services seeks to enhance utilization efficiency and provide solutions to common project challenges.  

SBG +Services suite

No matter the size of the budget, everyone wants to save time integrating new equipment into a system. As such, SBG Systems designed three different levels of service to help introduce an SBG inertial sensor to the product…and the team. The first is the +Online Initiation, a two-hour session with an SBG Support Engineer via remote-access software. Next is a +On Demand Training, this in-person training occurs either at the SBG office or at the customer’s location. Finally, +Intervention Day which is a pre-paid day for either training, installation, or on-site support. Find more information about the suite of SBG +Services, here.  

Certify sensor performance

SBG Systems factory calibrates every sensor in dynamics and temperature. A calibration report, certifying performance for three years arrives with the sensor. All SBG inertial sensors feature MEMS technology. This means that there is no need to periodically calibrate the sensors. Yet, some projects require certifications. The Check & Calibration service includes a quality check, a firmware update, cleaning, and, if required, calibration in temperature and dynamics. The certificate arrives with the sensor and guarantees the quality of the sensor data during three years.  

Continuous production

Professionals can face financial penalties if there is interruption in production. By selecting the +Back-Up System service, customers can access a replacement device in the event the original sensor requires factory services - both planned and unplanned.  

Secured budgets

All SBG inertial sensors – Eliipse, Ekinox, Apogee – come with a 2-year warranty. This warranty can extend up to 5 years.

SBG Systems Announces Major Improvements for the Ellipse Series Line of Miniature Inertial Sensors

Ellipse Series Performance UpgradedJanuary 31, 2017 – SBG Systems announced the release of a new version of the Ellipse Series, its popular product line of miniature inertial sensors. The Ellipse is greatly improved, showing unmatched performance in attitude measurement while adding Galileo constellation to its GNSS receiver. After thousands of Ellipse miniature inertial sensors operational on the field, SBG Systems proves again its capability of continuous innovation. With these improvements, the Ellipse line of miniature inertial sensors strengthens its position as “best combination of innovation, performance, and reliability” while keeping the same form factor and price level. Due in part to its small form factor and powerful performance, the Ellipse Series is a popular sensor for Unmanned Systems. It is also an affordable all-in-one solution that provides accurate attitude and position in real-time for Unmanned Systems whether they are terrestrial, aerial, or marine.  

Ellipse Series Performance Upgraded

The accuracy of every Ellipse models has improved from 0.2° to 0.1° in roll and pitch. With low noise gyroscopes and new high performance accelerometers providing superior noise level. In addition, the new accelerometers tolerate very high vibration environments (up to 8g).  

GNSS Navigation: Ellipse-N Operational with Galileo Satellites

The Ellipse-N model is an all-in-one inertial sensor that embeds a L1 GNSS receiver. Ellipse-N is already compatible with GPS, GLONASS and BEIDOU constellations. With the addition of GALILEO tracking, Ellipse-N benefits from more satellites, improving the signal robustness in harsh environments.  

2-Year Warranty: The Most Reliable Industrial-grade Sensors

Ellipse embeds high quality sensors with a greatly improved long-term stability. These sensors feature an IP68 enclosure and are resistant to dust and water. Additionally, in order to ensure consistent behavior in every condition, each sensor is tested and calibrated. Highly robust, the Ellipse is guaranteed for 2 years. There is also an option to extend the warranty up to 5 years.  

Compatibility and Availability

Thanks to a fully backward compatibility design, the new Ellipse series can be a drop-in replacement of the previous Ellipse. Thus, no specific integration action is required when it comes to mechanical, electrical and/or software integration. New Ellipse sensors are available for ordering.
